Electro-Optic Frequency Comb

Caption

A new integrated electro-optic frequency comb can be tuned using microwave signals, allowing the properties of the comb -- including the bandwidth, the spacing between the teeth, the height of lines and which frequencies are on and off -- to be controlled independently. It could be used for many applications including optical telecommunication.
